Take my daughter every year elk and deer hunting and now she's 19, in college, and still takes the weekend off to go hunting with me. She carries her 30-06 without a complaint and looks forward to getting her first animal one of these years. My younger son goes as well, while he has no desire to actually hunt at the moment but is one helluva spotter of animals…better than me. We've seen all kinds of animals up in the mountains and it's always a great experience for us. They like fishing as well. Hopefully this is a tradition we can experience well into their adult lives.
Joe, I live in Pennsylvania. Where hunting and fishing is a massive thing. Yes, there are some extremely gung-ho girls, when it comes to hunting and fishing! Some of them look like they should be the head cheerleader, and some of them look like you're good old-fashioned country girl farm girls… who happen to be awesome! And they are seriously enthused about it. So it's pretty innate. It's how you bring them up and as long as you don't force feed them it, but you let them see the camaraderie and the Esprit D' corp shared by hunters. They want to join in.
Watching this in 2023 my two daughters come to mind. Both hunt and fish and you can’t stop them. All I did was take them. And the bug bit them, my youngest had her husband build a ground blind so she could hunt right up till she gave birth. She killed a nice 8 point three days later my grandson was born.
Start spending time with her in the outdoors doing other things like foraging for edibles and teach her that deep love and connection to nature and natural food sources and she’ll likely want to expand into hunting later.

I was the daughter that loved hunting and fishing with my dad. My older brother never cared for it lol
